ashtar.While the tiny, boxy cars and constant cloud cover doesn't take much away from this short, it just feels wrong on a very fundamental level. The Simpsons are very very American, in fact almost a meditation on the nature of American life. Nearly everything about the show would have to be changed if it were set in England. I mean, can you really imagine Homer with a British accent?

tamagoMeh, I just see it as imitation being the sincerest form of flattery. And while I agree that Simpsons is uniquely American, it is interesting to ponder what the show would be like if it was made in other countries. Especially Britain.
